Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices: (a) On or about March 20, 2017, in the West Machinery Room (aka: Compressor Room) there was an approximately five (5) inch diameter hole in the wall above the entry/exit door. This was not in accordance with ANSI/IIAR 2-2008 to ensure the ammonia machinery room was sealed tight. (b) On or about March 20, 2017, in the East Machinery Room, on the south wall, an approximately three (3) inch diameter hole and an approximately five (5) inch by 16 inch pipe opening were noted. This was not in accordance with ANSI/IIAR 2-2008 to ensure the ammonia machinery room was sealed tight. (c) On or about June 30, 2017, in the West Machinery Room, water was leaking from the ceiling, resulting in water accumulating on the floor in front of and in close proximity to the Main Control Panel, water was leaking onto Compressors WRC-01 and WRC-04, and water was leaking in close proximity to electrical disconnects located on the mezzanine level of the West Engine Room. This was not in accordance with ANSI/IIAR 2-2008. (d) On or about November 4, 2016, in the East Plant, an incident occurred involving an over-pressure release from one of the dual pressure relief valves provided for the IMECO Evaporative Condenser. Following this incident, the dual pressure relief valves were switched to the alternate side that did not release. However, the relief valve that did release was not replaced at the first opportunity. This was not in accordance with IIAR Bulletin No. 110.
